1. In those days, again, when there was a great crowd, and they did not have anything to eat, calling together his disciples, he said to them:
2. "I have compassion for the multitude, because, behold, they have persevered with me now for three days, and they do not have anything to eat.
3. And if I were to send them away fasting to their home, they might faint on the way." For some of them came from far away.
4. And his disciples answered him, "From where would anyone be able to obtain enough bread for them in the wilderness?"
